      SO, once the "seasonally adjusted" figures are worked out, because employment has gone down, the statement in the Daily Express won't stand up.

      Also, the Daily Express implies people coming in and nicking our jobs, without making it clear they mean "people not born in the UK". That includes all manner of British Citizens, 2nd generation Brits, white colonials coming here (e.g. the bloody Ozzies, Kiwis and Saffas) and so on.


      What I wanna know is: do Intra-Company Transfers get counted?

        Well, it saved NickFitz doing it in the middle of the night.

        Although his analyses are usually better thought-out than mine.

              What's that dripping sound? Can you hear that SY01? Sounds like it might be upstairs...

                  Breaking news? Do us a favour!

                  As Prince Philip once said, about 80 years ago "The Express really is a bloody awful paper!"

                  (The only reference Google finds, searching on ' "prince phillip" "bloody awful paper" ' is here DOH! )

                      Is she that desperate for the next baby?

                      Gosh!

                      I'm surprised you need the heating on at all.

                      Still, as they say, "Keep your pecker up".
